Abstract Scope |
Based on the bibliometric analysis of scientific articles published in the field of magnesium alloys during 2015-2019, it is aimed to reveal the emerging and important research hotspots and frontiers of basic research and technology development in magnesium alloy field, as well as the main countries/regions and research institutions. At the same time, it provides a prediction for the future research direction of magnesium alloys and applications. The analysis results show that significant progresses have been achieved in high-performance magnesium alloys, magnesium-based composites, processing technologies and functional magnesium materials. Corrosion resistance and coatings, texture and twinning, grain refinement and dynamic recrystallization, biocompatibility and biodegradability, rare earth and LPSO phases are the main research hotspots in the latest years. It is proved that the bibliometric analysis provides a new way for the research and discovery of the latest progress and development direction in the field of magnesium alloys. |
